124 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 So comeon Jets fans, what say the rest of you? Do you believe that Leon Washington is worth at the LEAST, $4 million a season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 $4 million per? Yes. 4 yrs $16 million, or 5 yrs $20 million. That's what they're paying Kenyon Coleman, so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I'm on board as well. Leon is worth $4 million a season, IMO. He will be getting 10-15 carries a game (hopefully) in addition to being the best Kick Returner in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bachelors3 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Leon deserves the money. He was the team MVP and continues to get better each year. He should get paid for his efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alk Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Sounds about right. I would say he's pretty comparable to Darren Sproles and he just got the franchise tag slapped on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECURB Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I love the guy... but the type of RB he is... there is bound to be an injury... 4 million is fine... but not for 4 or 5 years... he will not play all 16 games over that time... most RB's dont... and he especially wont... If he is willing to put incentives in the end of his deal... go for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnys025 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 He is the best player on our team, pay the man, and don't think twice about it. GET IT DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I think he's woth even more than that. Get it done Tanny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 He's been worth most of that amount to the Jets in his previous role. Barring injury, he will see even more action, so I have no issues with paying Leon $4M/yr. He actually gets into the endzone & gets more extra yards out of plays than anyone the Jets have had in a long, long time. The cap is going up (assuming it's not abolished) anyway, so in 2 years his $4M will seem like closer to $3M anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 He is the only legitimate gamebreaker the Jets have on offense, that money is fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Give this man what he wants. Make him happy. Has there been a more exciting game breaking player on this team in the last 20 years? There are a couple of current Jets that started their career here that I want to end their careers here, Leon is on the top of that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMaynard Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 No doubt that he is worth that. I also like the classy way he is handling this. Unlike Mr. Baby - T. Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 No doubt that he is worth that. I also like the classy way he is handling this. Unlike Mr. Baby - T. Jones. Agreed. If Leon gets hurt this season he will have made very little money over his career. He will be a 28 year-old RB who has never started a full season coming off an injury. Yet he's there. Jones has pocketed ridiculous millions of dollars over the years (including $13M from just the last 2 seasons alone). And Mr.Does-Nothing-Extraordinary is spitefully holding out from the team that paid him almost as much in 2 seasons as he made in his prior 7 combined. $4M/yr, particularly in this FA market, is absolutely fair $ for Leon. If that's what his demands are, the only thing the Jets should be spending any time on is its structure. But you don't lowball this guy after throwing that amount at (then) career-backup Kenyon Coleman from someone else's team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamont_jordan_rules Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 ... yes - pay him ... as long as rex gives him more than the 3 offensive touches per game that our previous HC did it will be money well spent ... l_j_r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Leon is an RFA in '10 offer him $2 mill per for 4 if he turns it down, tender him as RFA with a 1st round pick attached TJ is making $2.5 mill giving Leon $ 4 mill means you're giving the backup a 60% raise over the starter not good strategy no matter how much you love Leon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Oh, and I called Bradway an incompetant idiot for letting Herm go for only a 4th rounder when the going rate for coaches was 2nd rounders. Leon's been close to a 1st rounder you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aten Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 If you do a deal with a guy who doesn't have any leverage you have to expect to do another one as soon as he gets some. Leon's in kind of a rough spot as far as his age and the status of the CBA go, but that's not our problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
